‘Arvind Sawant is threatening an acid attack on me,’ Amaravati MP drops a bombshell in opposition to Uddhav authorities

Threats and hooliganism have at all times been an indicator of the politics practised by Shiv Sena. As the Shiv Sena led Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance is getting more and more cornered as a result of a spate of controversies, Shiv Sainiks are hitting new lows. In an alarming allegation, Independent MP from Amravati, Navneet Rana has accused Shiv Sena MP from Mumbai South, Arvind Sawant of threatening her within the parliament.Navneet Rana alleged that within the foyer of the parliament, she was threatened by Shiv Sena’s Arvind Sawant as allegedly he warned Rana of being jailed for speaking within the House in opposition to the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maharashtra authorities.More worryingly, the Independent MP from Amravati knowledgeable the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Om Birla about receiving acid-attack threats by means of cellphone calls and on Shiv Sena letterheads.In her letter dated March 22, Rana alleged, “Today, the way Shiv Sena parliamentarian Arvind Sawant has threatened me, it is an insult not just to me but to all the country’s women. Hence I seek the strictest of police action against Arvind Sawant.”Rana said that Sawant was miffed together with her as she raised the difficulty of the sorry state of affairs in Maharashtra. She alleged that Sawant threatened her with statements like, “I’ll see how you roam around in Maharashtra”, and “We will put you, too, behind bars.”While chatting with NDTV, Rana mentioned, “I became blank at that point (in the Lok Sabha lobby) and immediately turned behind, one of my colleagues was there, and I just asked, ‘Did you hear?’ He said, ‘Yes I heard, Navneet’.”Rana claimed that Bharat Margani, the Rajamundhry MP, was a witness to the alleged incident.She added, “I have complained before, too, to the police and Om Birla ji about all the unwanted letters that I got in the name of Shiv Sena. I got calls saying ‘The beautiful face that you are proud of, we will put acid so that you will not be able to go anywhere…if you talk about Uddhav Thackeray ji’.”Arvind Sawant on his half whereas rubbishing the allegations in opposition to him claimed that being a Shiv Sainik prevents him from threatening a lady — one thing which was lacking when the Shiv Sena deployed its equipment to hound Kangana Ranaut for her audacity to talk up in opposition to the Supreme Leader Uddhav Thackeray.“I have never threatened anyone in my life…Doing that to a woman is out of the question,” mentioned Mumbai South MP Sawant. He added, “The House bars naming anyone from outside…but she does it and it goes on the record. Some people are skilled in twisting things and gaining publicity.”Sawant added, “I condemn anyone who indulges in such acts (acid attack). If anyone even tries it, I will be standing with Navneet Rana.”Further displaying his backward mentality, Sawant questioned Rana’s “aggressive body language” to which Rana replied saying, “I will not take orders from Shiv Sena or Mr Sawant on what body language to have and what to say.”Already bogged underneath quite a few controversies, Shiv Sena appears to stoop to a brand new low as its leaders like Arvind Sawant allegedly threaten those that have had sufficient of the hooliganism of the social gathering and voice their opinion in opposition to it.
